The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Hamilton finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:05:08 for 28th of 359 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:29 quicker than the median and 21st of 359. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:40, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 2:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
